Unable to use this module on fresh alert manager instances

[scottybrisbane]

In the alertmanager.pp manifests there is a service resource that instructs puppet to stop the alert_manager service if it is running, since the service has been renamed. This works fine on an old instance that has the alert_manager service, but breaks down on new instances that have no such service. I am seeing the following error on a fresh instance that attempts to start the alertmanager:

/Stage[main]/Prometheus::Alertmanager/Service[alert_manager]) Could not evaluate: Could not find init script or upstart conf file for 'alert_manager'

puppet-prometheus/manifests/alertmanager.pp

Lines 205 to 207 in 56dbfab

	service { 'alert_manager':
	ensure => 'stopped',
	}

seeing the same thing -- any planned fix?

Hi @scottybrisbane and @skarip, is one of you able to provide a patch for this?

Possible solution (please provide feedback):

• providing a fact which checks whether alert_manager is running
• make the service resource depending on fact result
